Emilie Barnes, author of 60 books, together with Yoli Brogger has written a comprehensive and practical guide for people who want a warm and beautiful house but don't have the money or desire to spend a lot of money to attain the "look."
From discovering your own personal style and loving what you already have, through decorating rules and breaking those rules, we're brought on an exciting journey in finding our focus and making beautiful living spaces that reflect our individual needs and comfort. And it doesn't have to cost a fortune.
The tips and techniques are logical but not always the things people spend a lot of time thinking about when "pulling a room together." You'll find help with tools needed for a project, information about fabric choices, learn how the addition of candles and lamps bring warmth and light to a room, great window treatments, clever inspiration for walls and many other ideas for every room in your home.
Armchair Interviews says: Whether you're experienced or a novice in home decorating, Designing Your Home on a Budget will help you achieve what you want, with less hassle and less time spent on the project.
